housewives news, kim quit the show in the middle of the season. the season tat we're watching right now. oka in the particular episode, she is very pregnant with her second son, and she was at an event, pregnant, and at the event two of the housewives got physical, and it got near kim and close to her baby bump, and she is upset because she could have been injured, so she called andy cohen and said she could no longer work around this foolishness while she's pregnan and insiders say that kim, in the middle of the season, was replaced th porsche stewart which is probably why we didn't get to see much of porsche at all in the first episode because she had not been cast at that particular point. so she is off the show, good for her, but you know what, kim?

that first episode, you and i never talked about this audience, or even on facebook, i don't think we had this conversation i like kim, let me just preface by saying that. she went from being a homewrecker to being -- to turning it around and being a decent woman, you know? she has her two girls, her husband, and it all corked out for her, good for her. th that said, i hated the way she aed at candy's house, there was smacks of racism, and i know she's not, and also, you are a hater. this is what happened. candy in the middle bought a

very big house. a gated community. one of the gates didn't work. kim shows up in her range rover with her assistant sweeney. and she's like only one gate works? welcome to the ghetto. she would not stop, she gets into candy's house, and she criticized the paint and the ceilings, and she has to criticize everything. you are a hater, and there's a few racist coents, you need to sit down on the sidelines one home and then we'll all come back and hug it out, but -- so she quit housewiis and what she has now is party for the wedding and the wedding already happened, so if you're going to continue on bravo, they need more excitement other than you nd your hot husband who don't

want to get more exciting. he's the strong silent type, no personality, he walks out of the room, love it, love it. so let's move on. go to magazin. you know i love my magazines and i love to share with you what's in them, so it's time for "wendy's got you covers." hit it. all right, we all know neenee is rich, very rich. she's so rich that she's bathing in a tub of diamonds on the cover of december's issue of ebony magazine. she's on the list of the most

influential. and then inside, she is wearing a $10,000 gown, and it's made from dollar lls. people say that nene does not deserve to be onhe cover of this magazine. why are you hating on her? like -- doesn't everybody appreciate a good come up story? she just entertained us. she came off the stripper pole and into our hearts. and like -- i know that sometimes people think that the only ople who dserve to the cover story for something that successful are people who got harvard degrees, well

welcome to 2012 where success comes in many forms. and she does deserve to be on that cover. it is very gauche, and but inside the magazine, she's talking about life, and r marriage to greg, and she and greg actually -- she gave us a little tidbit, i didn't know they were officially back together. you couldn't tell that from the first episode. she said greg needed to feel what it was like without me. i wanted to let him see if the grass was really greener on the other side. he brought his butt back because the grass is own over there. that nene, so that's what's going on on the outside, also on the power list, michelle and

barack obama, beyonce and jay-z, and me. so pick up your copy asap. so let's go to another story. halle berry is on the german version of "interview" magazine. she says like shoes and handbags, she recently said that short hair doesn't necessarily define her, but i think she's one of the only people that looks really, really great in short and long. she as looks really good in the funky '70s. she's a bad mother. and melissa mccarthy is gracing the cover of "good housekeeping"

do you have an antiacid? i have a little heart burn. my son did that to me. he said do you ever have a baby with a lot of hair, and they say that when you have acid reflux when you're pregnant, it means were liquid have a lot of hair. >> thank you.aç thank you brenden. so melissa mccarthy is on the ver of the december issue of "good housekeeping" magazine, and she is speaking out about her struggles about losing weight, and here is what she

says -- i like her, don't you like her? she says sometimes i wish i was just magically a size six and i never had to give a thought to my weight. but i'm weirdly healthy so i don't beat myself up about it, it wouldn't help. she is planning on launching a clothing line for plus size women. she complains there's not a lot of options for plus size women, and this is not just another celebrity with a clothing line. i think this will be a big hit. before she was acting she studies clothing design, in the fashion industry and design and stuff. she said i'm a plus size, and the things out there are made for either a 16-year-old hooker or an 89-year-old grandmother of the bride, and they're made from the materials that are used for

haircutting capes. and if you'you know she's prett to spot on. and that's "wendy's got you covered." so, you know mary murphy, the really loud sassy one that's a judge on "so you think you can kans dance"? she owes her exmanager. he saids she fired him and she never paid them. he had to work like a dog, he said, to protect her image. have you ever seen mary on "so you think you can dance?" . the suit also alleges that she

is a cocaine fuelled nymfomaniac. so if you didn't respond in court, i love you, but we're only led to believe that there was something to all of his claims. the judge ruled in the exmanagers favor because she's never responded to the court case. mary certainly let's loose on the show. if you need to be reminded, watch this. >> you have two tickets on the hot tamalie train. one more time, do it again. >>. [ screing ]

>> you look good there, too mary, by the way. very kardashian. so let's talk about neomi campbell. she's in love with this russian billionaire boyfriend of hers. he is 50 years old. according to page six, she through him a $5 million party. it lasted three days. she chartered ten planes to fly the guests to the party in india. fabulous. here she is in india. she reportedly paid diana ross over half a million dollars to perform at the party.

if you know mrs. ross like i do, and i love her, my favorite artist, then you know that it's not that mrs. ross doesn't want to come out of her house, it's that she doesn't come out to do a whole lot because she doesn't feel like it. so for her to be partying in india is a big deal. the only time we hear about her leaving the house is when she goes grocery shopping wearing what i like to wear. leggings, a sweat jacket, good big hair, no make up, and no sunglasses either. i can't see when i wear them inside. i don't know how people do that. anyway, ey have been together since 2008, and they really do make a smart, sexyooking couple. but he is still married to his wife of 25 years, and look,

they're one big happy family. there is everybody. that's the wife and the kids, and naomi. >> and they all work -- that's the new normal for a lot of families -- congratulations naomi! >> i wanted to thank our audience for generously donating supplies for hurricane sandy reli relief. monday, after the wendy show, i'm going to my home down in new jersey which isight there at the jersey shore, and i'm going to send some love and spread love to those affected by hurricane sandy. i'm going to meet the mayor and we're going to tour them and see the first responders and thank them. i'll also be meeting with a lot

compliment. women, you all do this, you do this and you try to feel all of my bumps and my business. >> i was taught in very early how to shade in my nose, and not to do that. and the thing that people don't know is that indian women are just as like serious about their hair as black women. you know,e oil our hair, my grandmother still has hair down here, we're very serious about our hair. >> i knew we were related to one another. >> so, now, the scar on your arm, you addressed it before but not on our show. >> and i haven't for a long time. i got it when i was 146. >> do you have glitt on it? >> yeah, i like to think of it

and my instinct is like we can't waste that food. so first, they were like -- >> we have to get ready to go to commercial, but padma is in one of my favorite secret movies "glitter." >> that is so horrible. it was great. that scene, i had to sing badly because i play like a female character, and it wasn't hard to sing badly, and mariah comes in the stio and sings, and you're like wow, what an amazing voice, but when she is standing like where you are, and she -- it's

so olympic in it's size, and like my hair was vibrating. honestly. it would have been the same thing like standing next to roger federer when he's serving. >> we've been asking our home viewers vote on what you would like to see padma do next, we give you three choices, we'll reveal which one next.

a tantrum. let her fly all week. but it's best that you tell her no now because she understands that she is not the boss, you're the boss, money doesn't grow on trees, and she needs a job. and here is the thing about the pedicures and going out. you can make plans to have a sit down with your daughter where you do each others nails and stuff, but you need to teach her now. we'll be right [ male announcer ] what do you get when you take 100% whole grain brown rice and wheat and bake it with real sweet potato or savory red bean? a new line of triscuit crackers with a delicious taste and a crispier crunch. brown rice triscuit. a new take on an old favorite. with a delicious taste and a crispier crunch. only huggies diapers to stop leaks better. to prove it, we asked real parents to put them to the test at a super stretchy baby yoga class. can our flexible waistband survive the upward facing bottom pose?
